Our partner Sasha has been running art classes for those who remain in his community. The war has changed the lives of these women – their daughters and grandchildren have been evacuated; their husbands and sons have gone to war; they have lost relatives and friends and have no idea what tomorrow will bring.
Their dreams for the future are simple and very moving. Please pray for them and for a just and lasting peace.
‘I hope the war will be over by autumn. I hope that the sun will shine. I hope that the sky will be peaceful. I hope that our sons will return. I hope that the mushrooms will grow to give us food and that all will be good in Ukraine’‘My picture shows a girl rushing home, hoping that there will be peace and all will be good.’‘My life was going downhill with the spiky trees around but I want life to be full of flowers!’‘I drew a picture of a peaceful sky and a bright sun and a tree which drops seeds and nothing can destroy the growing seedlings.’‘The fox is looking at the sky, hoping that the sun will come out of the clouds and everything will be good, and the peace will come.’
Each of our partners is bringing hope to ordinary people caught up in the horrors of war. They want to do more. If you can help, please donate: www.dniprohopemission.org/donate.
